Methods Computer searches of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, ProQuest, Wiley, CNKI, Wanfang database for randomized controlled trials on the effects of narrative care on the psychological and quality of life of seriously patients were conducted, and the search time frame was from database creation to December 2022. The literature was screened, extracted, and evaluated for methodological quality by two investigators according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Jadad scale, and the risk of bias was assessed by the recommended criteria in the Cochrane 5.1.0 manual. The data were extracted from the literature that met the inclusion criteria after screening. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Results The final literature included 32 articles with 3073 patients.
